Appearance

GHB has a few forms: a liquid with no odor or color, white powder, and pill. It might give your drink a slightly salty taste. Mixing it with a sweet drink, such as fruit juice, can mask the salty taste.

Effects

GHB takes effect in about 15 minutes and can last 3 or 4 hours. It is very potent: A very small amount can have a big effect. So itâ€™s easy to overdose on GHB. Most GHB is made by people in home or street â€œlabs.â€ So, you donâ€™t know whatâ€™s in it or how it will affect you. GHB can cause these problems:

Relaxation

Drowsiness

Dizziness

Nausea

Problems seeing

Loss of consciousness (black out)

Seizures

Canâ€™t remember what happened while drugged

Problems breathing

Vomiting

Death

GHB was recently made legal in the United States to treat problems from narcolepsy (a sleep disorder). Distribution of GHB for this purpose is tightly restricted.
